Favorite Books

I like mysteries, I am a reader of Louise Penny's Inspector Gamache series. …Amazon Prime is current airing a series based on the books! I’m so excited!! The show is called Three Pines.

I get most of the books for my to-be-read list from the podcast What Should I Read Next. If you haven't listened to this podcast I would highly recommend it, it is lots of fun.

Books I've read and enjoyed (that I can think of right now): Jayber Crow by Wendell Berry; Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann; Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel; The Dry by Jane Harper; We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson


Favorite Movies

My very favorites are:

Amadeus

Groundhog Day

Overboard (the one with Goldie Hawn)

Let The Right One In (I don't normally enjoy "horror" movies, but this Swedish film is sooo good! If you've seen it I would love to hear your thoughts!!)

Favorite Television

My Favorite TV Shows:

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

What We Do in the Shadows

The Office

MASH

Comment: Kathy, thank you so much for the gorgeous journal! I love the neutral base (with hints of my favorite color- mint/teal) to work with- I love bright colors but have been challenging myself to use more neutrals so this is WONDERFUL! Thanks for the awesome journal, I can't wait to play in it!

Comment: Hi! OhMyGosh! Thank you so much for this PERFECT Christmas themed journal. Really cool how you decorated the outside cover and inside pages--just love it. Everything is decorated so festively and it's just making me very happy. I had a rough day yesterday and this is just what I needed. Thank you for the wonderful and very generous tuck-ins. I'm just going on and on because I love everything. I sincerely appreciate the time and effort you put into creating this journal for me. Addendum: I just noticed that the journal is handmade. Thank you so much for the towel as well. WOW!! Merry Christmas.
Response: I’m so glad you like it!! :-) I had fun making it.

I got my first mail for Happy Mail all Month yesterday! Thak you. We do definitely have a lot in common. What an exciting elector your daughter to have as her first! I just finished Radicals and Roses by Susan Zimet about women's suffrage. I am not a big non-ficton person, so I was pleasantly surprised by how engaging it was.
